That's fair, I'd imagine nothing like that would feel real until you experienced it first hand, even if it does happen in your own country. All the same, it's either being reported more or it's becoming a more common occurrence, either way it's about time those in charge did something about it.
Gun control

The diehards? Never.
They couldn't do a thing. The NRA is too powerful.
It varies greatly from state to state. In some states you don't even need a permit.
"Police reviewed store video to determine the shooting was accidental".
That's some top police work lads.

Hopefully, at 2 years old the child will have no recollection of this when he gets older. Hopefully. How tragic and bizarre at the same time.
The diehards? Never.
They'll die a little easier what with all the guns floating around.
I feel so sorry for that young child. He'll grow up and be told at some stage, either by his family or some dickhead at school who knows, that he shot his own mother by accident.
Man, this sucks. I feel sorry for the little kid and its inevitable that one dickhead will let the kid know that he shot his own mum.
Get on with gun control, the sooner you start the better.
Put that kid in juvenile.
If the kid had been armed he wouldn't have needed his mother's gun. NRA "logic".
If the checkout attendant had a machine gun he could have taken the 2 year old down before he killed him mum etc etc etc
Guns don't kill people, babies do.
Well considering the age of the kid and that he probable could not tell them what happened and there may not have been other witnesses, checking the video was probably just to confirm what happened.
According to that article a 3 year old did the same thing last month.
What are you saying, we could be dealing with a copycat here?
Guns are completely safe so long as people are properly trained in their use from an early age.
So are swords. I did fencing for many years and feel I should be allowed to walk around town with my sword for protection.
So what you're saying is this kid was trying to send his parents a message, something like "hurry up and train me yo!"?

More like "stop leaving your gun where I can get it."
Why would a Mother travelling with her son to Walmart need to be equipped with a gun in the first place?
Cause she has her concealed weapon permit and she is gonna use it. Or because she is stupid.
Bringing a knife to a gunfight and all that. Good luck to you!
You know what would have prevented this? More guns.
I really don't get it, America in general is a safe place I assume? Even without having to arm yourself with gun? What's the odds of a commoner shopping at walmart ever need to carry a gun?
After Sandy Hook when 20 elementary kids were killed I actually thought there would be real tangible gun reform but the NRA lobbyists silenced that. I lost all hope of things ever changing in the states.
When some crazy feck can massacre 20 kids with a AR-15 and nothing gets done....they couldn't even ban high capacity clips because of "freedom" and all that...they are doomed.
Until the USA gets big money out of politics they will continue to suffer.
You can carry a gun in Walmart....just don't be black:

You can get killed in wal mart for just picking up an air rifle if you are the wrong colour.
Which negates the alleged point of having a gun.
Well here's a surprise...
Sometimes I wonder if this is just nature's modern way of weeding out the idiots.

And someone in that article says she isn't irresponsible? No, of course not, taking a lethal weapon to do grocery shopping is perfectly sensible, those carrots can be deadly, dozy bint
I blame rap music, its effects are limitless.
that's horrendous
Just type "open carry" into your search engine and look at the images. Especially the feckin nutjobs carrying assault rifles in coffee shops and supermarkets. I bet they feel tough. But it's their constitutional right blah blah blah. Yeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Unfortunately not quick enough, and with guns it's usually the innocent people around who get hurt.

Jesus, that's the first I've heard about that. Why hasn't this had any media attention when the rest of the recent killings have? Or have I just missed it?
Picking up a gun, in a store that sells guns, and he gets shot dead. Things are just going from bad to worse in America.

No, it's better than ever. This stuff happened before but it never came out.
So the woman was carrying the gun in a special zippered purse. How can a two year old take that out? Sue the purse maker!!
this is why toddlers shouldn't legally be allowed to buy guns. America really needs to catch up with the rest of the world.
